Chapter 18: Close call

"What does them working on metal have to do with this?" Harry asked as the rest he understood just fine. "When we were at the refinery how would you describe the men there?" Nick asked patiently and Harry thought about it for a minute before he figured it out. "Dirty!" he said in realization. Nick nodded with a grin "Smoke , metal dust , sweat and dirt is the price those men pay by working in that job. So the way I see it something shiny is pointless for them as it too will just get dirty. So instead I made something symbolic instead." Nick said proudly.-

Harry nodded in agreement "It's brilliant!" he said excitedly. "We'll make a trip on saturday to give the blokes the rings and I'm sure they'll agree!" Nick said with a grin. "For now though I need a bath." Nick said with a grimace as he smelt himself. Harry burst into laughter at this but Nick just ignored it as he went into the bathroom. 'I want to finish that blank of mine but I can't risk any of the others seeing me work and getting the ministries attention.' Nick thought with a sigh as he scrubbed himself thoroughly with the soap.-

He winced a bit when he went over the healing bruises on his body but otherwise finished up quickly and got changed into a set of plain grey cotton pajama's. He and Harry talked about "a history of magic" for the rest of the day until dinner after which they turned in for the night. The next day was Friday and school was as always a torturously boring event for Nick but he sucked it up. Neither he nor Harry did anything for the rest of that day beyond delve into their own chosen books and relax.-

"Harry here found out that the work wasn't for him but otherwise it went great. We even brought the rings we promised!" Nick said excitedly leaving the workers stunned. "To be fair lad we didn't actually expect ya to go and really make us rings." The boss said with an awkward chuckle. Nick frowned "I gave my word and that meant I was going to follow through." he said slightly offended. The boss raised his hands in surrender "Didn't mean to upset ya lad , I've no doubts about yer honor but ya can understand not expecting a couple of wee lads like yerself to do such hard work , aye?" The man said calmly.
